Match of Sherwin Williams™ SS02 Thistle *

Plastic materials can vary a lot, so SS02 Thistle should be tested on the actual item before you commit to the whole project. MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, but adhesion and final appearance can still change depending on the specific plastic, surface texture, and any mold release or contamination on the part.

If you want better adhesion and a lower risk of peeling, use the MyPerfectColor primer made for this application before applying the SS02 Thistle match. Clean the surface well, follow the primer instructions, and do a test spray on a hidden area first.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the SS02 Thistle color name by itself. If you need the safety details for the product you are ordering, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for that specific product line.

This matters because the same SS02 Thistle color reference can be made in different MyPerfectColor formats, and the SDS can vary by product type. Review the SDS for the exact item you plan to buy before use.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how durable it needs to be, and how much reflection you want from the surface. With SS02 Thistle, the same color can look different in a flatter or glossier finish, so sheen is an important ordering choice, not just a visual preference.

If the part will be handled often, cleaned regularly, or exposed to wear, a more durable finish may make sense. If you are coating a fixture or detail where you want less shine, a lower-gloss finish may be a better fit. The right choice depends on the application, not the color name alone.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power of the coating, the application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough or uneven surfaces can use more.

If you are painting a small part, fixture, or accessory in SS02 Thistle, estimate based on the actual surface area and plan for extra material if the substrate is porous, dark, or highly textured. If you are ordering for a larger area, measure first and allow for at least two coats when coverage or color consistency may be an issue.

For spray paint, dry-to-touch time is usually within minutes, recoat time is typically about one to two hours, and full cure takes about two weeks. Those are different stages, so do not confuse a dry surface with a fully cured coating.

If you are applying SS02 Thistle to a part that will be handled or reassembled, wait for the coating to progress beyond the dry-to-touch stage before moving it. If you need additional coats, stay within the recommended recoat window so the finish builds correctly.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SS02 Thistle in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SS02 Thistle, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
